problem in evalin with matlab app designer.

3 views (last 30 days)
Hello everyone.
im running an .mlapp which will create Excel file and save data on it, im using xlswrite1 to do it.
so the problem is i get this message every time i save the data to the Excel file.
'Error using evalin
Undefined function or variable 'Excel'.
Error in xlswrite1 (line 2)
Excel=evalin('base','Excel');'
why? and how to solve it.
My Code:
% Saving the data:
app.NEW3='Results';
SubjectNumberH,=1000;
Excel = actxserver ('Excel.Application');
folder = pwd;
baseFileName =app.NEW3;
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName);
ExcelWorkbook = Excel.workbooks.Add;
ExcelWorkbook.SaveAs(fullFileName,1);
ExcelWorkbook.Close(false);
invoke(Excel.Workbooks,'Open',fullFileName);
xlswrite1(fullFileName,SubjectNumberH,);
invoke(Excel.ActiveWorkbook,'Save');
Excel.Quit
Excel.delete
clear Excel

i got the answer.
for people with the same issue try to oppen the function file xlswrite1 and then replace the first line
Excel = evalin('base','Excel');
with
try
Excel = evalin('caller','Excel');
catch err
Excel = evalin('base','Excel');
end
thank you.
